HOW DOES THE EDUCATION WORK?

We have a full education site with a wide variety of subjects. Currently over 50 classes are offered. Our classes never fill up and they are always available. We price the classes really low to make it affordable for the large families "like ours". Our subscription service offers access to all of our classes! Each class will have a lesson, videos, quizzes and badge rewards. You will also receive a certificate of completion at the end of each course. Some classes also have a live interactive teacher presentation.

How It Works

No more lonely Steve..

REGISTER TO PLAY

To register to play you simply fill out a short form called the WHITELIST form. After we automatically verify your account it will add you to our server.

KEEP IT FAMILY FRIENDLY

We have parent moderators and chat filters to help keep it safe for you and your children to play. We also have a great facebook group you can join to quickly get a response from our admins and moderators. Our children also play on SKrafty and we want to protect those little eyes as much as you do.

NEW TO SKRAFTY OR MINECRAFT?

No problem. You do not need to know anything about Minecraft. Here is what you need to know to get started. SKrafty has two parts. A full featured GAMING server that runs on donations and a full online EDUCATION site that integrates the lessons with the game. We have a great support forum with a bunch of experts to help you along your way.

What is Pi? Pi represents a number. It’s an infinite number. That mean it goes on and on and on and never stops. A shortened form of PI is 3.14 so that’s why we talk about PI on March 14th each year or 3/14. It is represented by the Greek symbol.

This is really cool, and what Pi would sound like musically from New Scientist:

Minecraft Pi Project

Note: If you are building this on SKrafty PLEASE let a mod or admin know so we can come take a picture to share with everyone else!!

Now that you’ve learned a little about Pi, let’s have a Minecraft Challenge!! Can you build Pi in Minecraft? Of course you can!

The number for Pi is 3.14159265358979323846864338327950288419716939937510582097… and it goes on and on and on.

Build a representation of Pi in Minecraft. You can use any materials you want. I chose to use wool. In the picture you can see that the first column has 3 wool in it, the 2nd one has 1 wool, the 4th has 4 and so on.

Build #2: Here’s another idea if you’d like! Build a pixel art image of Pi. Here’s what it looks like:

To start you can print it or draw it on Graph paper to get perspective.

IRL Project

Now that you’ve learned about Pi and built your Pi…it’s time to have a little snack! Make a Pi!! Use your favorite recipe and create one of these:

I know I have mentioned quite a few times on here how much I LOVE the Teach Them Diligently Convention. It’s absolutely the best Homeschool Convention that I’ve attended. The atmosphere and the speakers and the people are absolutely wonderful.

We had such a great time at the Teach Them Diligently Convention last year, and so much enjoyed meeting so many of you guys in Nashville, Spartanburg, and Washington, D.C.! The kids(and some parents) have been playing together for over a year now on SKrafty, and it would be so cool to be able to meet some of you!

There are upcoming conferences in Dallas, Atlanta, Nashville, and Ohio.

Are your kiddos sitting? I hope so because they may faint when you tell them that we are FINALLY announcing the winners for the Summer build competitions. There were so many AWESOME builds that this was such a difficult decision. You can go here to see all the builds from the summer competitions:
